    A new world opened up in front of my eyes

    I really enjoyed studying at Brainstation, I can't wait to use all the knowledge I got in my work on a daily basis. The instructors are all super supportive and knowledgable, the curriculum is up to date, assignments well designed. They created a real community at the campus, had an amazing time collaborating with other teams and students. I loved the opportunity working on British Airways' 24h hackaton challenge.

    16K Stress & Stupidity

    1. This is a review is about the bootcamp  Conducted by Brainstation attended at Vancouver, and all my experiences and personal thoughts
    2. First of all, their main marketing focus is stating that you can transit any career to IT or tech, The blunt truth is 3 month program would not make you an IT professional.
    3.  This institute offers full time physical class, however they do not mention first two weeks is on-line delivery. This is because previous cohort is not finished w...

    Highly qualified instructors - very good information

    The pace was rigorous for a class with no prerequisites. The instructors were world class with a wealth of knowledge.  I would have appreciated some supplemental reading assignments in between classes so I could keep up with the class better. Again, the class itself was excellent, but the caliber of students wasn't what I was expecting. Unfortunately, many of my classmates did not participate fully in the weekly classes and they did not complete the final project - this reduces the value...

    Data Analytics Course

    I really liked the course though felt that if more time would be spend on concepts and practice it could help us tackle real world situations, especially Tableau, being a very powerful visualization tool if we had more classes to go over techniques that would surely come in handy at our workplace

    Good course but not enough focus on (organic) strategies and best practices

    In my opinion, this course spent too much time on paid content and demonstration of ad manager backends, and rushes through organic content and strategies. I wish there was more time spend on budgeting, and how to actually apply the concepts. It gives you real world examples but I wish there was some sort of homework given during the course with short feedback from the instructors, and more in class discussions or thought experiments during the lessons, so there would be a more practical...

    Ideal Bootcamp Experience

    This bootcamp exceeded my expectations. I am a recent graduate from the software engineering program and have yet to be fully immersed in the job market and the industry, but I still highly rate the program itself. I could not think of many ways they could have done more for us during these 12 weeks. From the guest industry speakers, nice NYC campus location, dedicated educators, and impressive organization and structure, I'm glad I took this leap of faith. The cost is about what I would...
